-The Dallas Cowboys are just not staying healthy this year; as a result, we are not winning as much as we should be. Although Sunday's game displayed a good effort on defense for 53 minutes, games last 60. Our wild card spot looks...well, wild at best.

-As the holdiay season rolls in, that means I get to roll out holiday playlists while musicians are churning out new holiday inspired tunes. If you don't own Sufjan Stevens' Songs for Christmas, it's a real singer/songwriter holiday treat.

-I delivered a gorgeous 50 page 11" x 14" wedding album to Jeff and Caroline over the weekend. For those of you that have already booked your wedding collections with me, it's not too late to upgrade to the 11" x 14".

-Thank you all for the kind comments regarding the images of my boys. I am so proud to be their dad. I really appreciate all of you that commented for the first time.

-Driving is fun again. I've filled up the FJ for $24 over the past month. We can all thank the warm winter for that one.

-Many of you have thanked me for recommending Derek Webb's One Zero acoustic album. I'm glad I could do it. As a reminder, you can pick it up here.

-Hip Hop dance has been an absolute blast so far. It caters to my affinity for music, musicals, fitness and being awesome.

-This week I'm tackling #42 of 101 on my lifestyle list: Learn to tie a bow-tie. Apparently it's similar to tying your shoe. Wish me luck as I get tied up in one of my favorite new accessories.

Sufjan is amazing! Hands down the best Christmas cd ever! You should check out the "Welcome Wagon" from Asthmatic Kitty and Sufjan.
